Couple capture daring wedding pictures on the edge of a cliff

• Skye and Ryan Myers wanted a big wedding but had to downsize the ceremony due to Covid-19 restrictions and Skye starting nursing school.
• So they decided to celebrate their wedding at Hawksbill Crag, an iconic cliff on the Whitaker Point hiking route in Arkansas.
• For the occasion, photographer Mason Gardner captured Skye and Ryan's images holding hands while standing on the edge of the cliff.

The couple from Mountain Home, Arkansas, wanted a big wedding but had minimal time to plan it because Skye (28) started nursing school, and Covid-19 regulations also made a big celebration impossible.

Ryan (30) says, "We are avid adventures and love the outdoors, hiking, kayaking, boating, camping rotate spots on our agenda, so we are always looking for the next epic adventure. Somewhere in the middle of June this year, after being together for more than four years, I told her I didn't want to wait any longer, not being married to her."
